Does Lombardi get to drop a diminishing skills reset on McCoy or will it be up to Banner to show him the door?

Doesn't the player have to have shown some skills in the first place to claim they've "diminished"?

Well, Dawson certainly had skills, but that didn't prevent these D-bags from showing him the door.

"Hi, I'm Joe Banner, I've got a team with enough holes to make Swiss cheese jealous, so I'm going to needlessly create one more hole on this team in a way that makes sure the next person to come along will automatically be hated just for not being Phil Dawson."

Hiko, I think you should lobby for Colt McCoy to be the new kicker, so when he misses the first 30-yard kick, you can revel in the "Boos" while he runs for his life.

It's all about my own personal entertainment now.

Like Brady Quinn, Derek Anderson, Tim Couch, and a host of others before him, it's not about him being reviled, it's about him being gone. Probably the way I'll feel about Weeden after this season.

A lot of the fanbois go away after their QB gets the boot, leaving behind just a bitter few that "hope he comes back and kicks our butts" and then 5 years from now bemoan that "he never got a chance". Those are easy to ignore.

$19,500.

(You get TWO Gold Stars if you know which 1980's comedy I'm referencing, and that's the ONLY clue I'm going to give at the moment)

Night shift?

You are SO close, it's silly. The movies share a common actor and the "$19,500" line was spoken to Maureen Stapleton.

For some reason Michael Keaton popped ino my head immediately on that. My second guess was Johnny Dangerously, but, full disclosure, I googled a pic of Maureen Stapleton to confirm it.

Yep, Johnny Dangerously. Amazing leap with Keaton. Stapleton asks the old lady janitor what it will cost to keep her quiet. Her reply: "Nineteen thousand five hundred dollars," which Stapleton immediately pulls out of her purse. I still think that's hysterical.
